iPhone Will Now Track Your Sex Life… Seriously

With all of the new wonderful features about the new iPhone’s conspiracy to make you completely used to living in a horrific Orwellian world of surveillance new operating system I recently wrote about here, a new little fact has come to light. Your iPhone will track your sex life. For your health, of course. (Is anyone else missing landlines? Just me? OK…)
Live Science explains:
An update to Apple’s Health app that is set for release this fall will let users track their sex lives, but experts say this tracking feature alone has little value for people’s health.
Rather, it’s only when information on sexual activity is integrated with other measures — such as the date of a woman’s last menstrual period — that such tracking becomes useful, experts said.
The sexual-activity tracking feature will be included as part of a new “reproductive health” section within Apple’s Health Kit app, which will be available with the iOS9 update. Users will be able to log the day and time that they had sex, and whether they used protection, according to news reports.
A simple log of your sexual activity is not very useful by itself, except to perhaps make people feel good or bad about themselves, said Dr. Elizabeth Kavaler, a specialist in female urology at Lenox Hill Hospitalin New York City. “It just seems like a really narcissistic, self-satisfying [feature],” Kavaler said.

If people wanted to use the data to improve their sexual health, they would need more information, Kavaler said. For example, if you wanted to keep track of all your sexual partners so that you could notify them in case you contract a sexually transmitted disease (STD), it would help to be able to input people’s names, Kavaler said, although she noted that this would raise privacy concerns.
Or, if researchers wanted to use Health Kit information to track outbreaks of STDs, they would want to know whether a person had recently traveled to another country, and how many sexual partners they had had in the past three months, Kavaler said.
